Reportedly the song arose after producer Chas Chandler heard Hendrix play the riff backstage and suggested that he would write a text. Chandler says that the text never shortened, while Hendrix claimed that the original text was much longer.[6] Haider denied itself that the song had anything to do with drugs; According to him, it was no more than a love song. He said the phrase "Whatever it is, that girl put a spell on me" is the key phrase of the song.[7]
